PEG PEREGO USA, INC. 877-737-3468



Models: Primo Viaggio with base, Pliko Travel System, Primo Viaggio System, Atlantico System, and Atlantico Trek System SNG
Production Dates: May 20, 2001, to and including February 15, 2002
Noncompliance: The seats have a snap in the upholstery directly over the locking belt adjustment mechanism (A-Loc Adjuster). When the upholstery is attached by the snap to the cover of the A-Loc Adjuster, it may cause tension in the upholstery due to the weight of the child, which may prevent the complete engagement of the A-Loc Adjuster allowing some slippage in the harness restraints. These seats fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213 "Child Restraint Systems." In the event of a vehicle crash, the child may not be properly restrained.
Corrective Action: Peg Perego will notify its customers and send repair instructions free of charge. Within 4-6 weeks, owners will receive a new plastic cover. Customers can register for instructions and a replacement cover by visiting Peg Perego's website at www.perego.com.
NHTSA No.: 02C006000 (PREVIOUS RECALL NUMBER 02E-006)

	Infant Car Seats Infant-only rear-facing seats are for babies up to about 22 to 30 pounds, depending on the specific car seat. You will need a new seat when your child gets bigger. Infant-only seats have handles that allow you to move the seat from the car to the house or other locations. Some have a base that you can leave installed in the car, so you can just click the car seat into place each time you use it.

	LATCH LATCH stands for Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren. It is a system mandated by the Federal government in an effort to standardize and simplify the installation of child restraints without using the vehicle's seat belt system. New vehicles and child safety seats manufactured on and after September 1, 2002 will be equipped with the LATCH system. Cars, minivans, and light trucks will be required to have anchor points between the vehicle's seat cushion and the seat back in at least two rear seating positions, and a top tether anchor (with the exception of convertibles). Child safety seats will have a lower set of attachments that fasten to the vehicle anchors. Most forward-facing child safety seats will also have a top strap (tether) that attaches to the top anchor in the vehicle.
